Hiking

The magnificent medieval church was first documented in 1369; the detached tower was completed in 1540. It is not located in the usual location because the builders apparently had concerns about placing it too close to the cliff. It is said to be open in the summer and can be climbed. Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson's parents were married here in 1749; his father had previously been a vicar here.
